I drove pretty hard on the last tank of gas in my car, and had 305 miles on it when I stopped for gas on my way home today.

Best I ever got for a whole tank was 31.5mpg. I was on a road trip, and had just filled up. I got on I-80, set the cruise for 65 and drove until I hit 360 miles on the tripmeter. Filled up on just under 11.5 gallons. That was before the UD pulley, and with the A/C on the whole time, though. Maybe I'll try again next road trip.

Well filled up the gas tank last night and got 225 miles to 10.2 gallons and this is with alot of spirited driving in both city and highyway. Alot better from when i was getting 150 miles to 10 gallons after putting on the CAI.

don't remember what the mileage was when I filled up, but the mpg was around 23. see my list of mods but the most recent was CAI and Piggy, with almost no change from before. Of course I have been driving the crap out of my car since last weekend when I put the piggy on so I probably gained 1 or 2 mpg overall. We'll see in the next few weeks as I calm down some. Good product, btw.

Since I've installed my Injen CAI, I have been getting about 28.7mpg. I've also started shifting at or below 2500rpm. This improved my gas mileage from about 27mpg before.

I haven't got to the bottom of this tank yet, but I had 214 miles on it with the needle sitting firmly on the 1/2 mark. That beats my previous best top 1/2 tank by 8 miles. Now I'm getting closer to the 1/4 line, and up near 270 miles.

EDIT: Stopped and filled up yesterday, with 308 miles on the tank. Took 10.1 gallons to fill it.

I just thought I'd throw this out but you might want to think about city driving vs. HW driving. Some cities in the us...don't have as many HW to drive on meaning less MPG. And if you have clutch...you get evenless. In Tucson that is the case. I get awesome gas mileage if its all freeway!! probably close to 30 or more miles per gallon. If this has been mention just ignore my usless rambling.

On a recent road trip (~1k miles) I averaged 28+mpg going 85-90mph with the AC blasting. I thought that was pretty good especially since I wasn't just cruising.

Recently did a long trip, and took the time to calculate gas mileage, I'm all stock. Speeds ranged from 75-90 mph, with AC on.

153.6 miles out of 5.299 gallons = 29 mpg
265.2 miles out of 9.45 gallons = 28.06 mpg with maybe 20 miles of city driving, including a couple hard pulls
148.9 miles out of 5.196 gallons = 28.66 mpg

This is really sad for me. In my last trip i averaged roughly 19.8 mpg. That was all highway driving crousing at 65-70 mph with a/c on. I think i'm getting worse than Evo average
